Burma and Rangoon

For the last two days we have been moored just about 30 miles from Rangoon in Burma, or of course Yangon in Myanmar!

On the first day we had a short tour of the city, in funny little (seven seater, teak interior) buses, just two o them. We visited the center of the city, with the few remaining old colonial buildings, and also the concrete 'royal barge' in a lake, built in 1972. The train is first class - no glass in the windows!

We had tea in the Strand Hotel, a very civilized place in the center. More photos on the next posting!
